About the role

Ladders seeks a Head of Aircraft Production in Seattle to lead prototype and development aircraft builds, align schedules with Program Management, and coordinate cross-functional activities with Engineering and Manufacturing. You will establish the Seattle production facility, build a robust production organization, and drive the transition from prototype to full-scale manufacturing with a focus on readiness and scalable operations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
